Jag XF Sportbrake
« on: 22 October 2019, 15:49:47 »
I'm half thinking about changing my astra, have been for a while now. I want another estate, diesel, auto. Looking on the trader, I came across a nice looking 64 plate jaaaaaaag. XF 2.2 TD Sportbrake auto. Then I got to the tech specs. It's less powerful (both bhp and torque) than my astra and is slower to 60! It's even got the green and red sport badge on the rear and steering wheel.  :o
Disappointed.

An XFR-S sportbrake might fit the bill.

Petrol......obviously. :y

Sadly most are a horrible shade of French blue.

I suspect my 4 pot turbo petrol jag would have Sir Lyons spinning in his grave so do the old chap a favour and banish any thoughts about getting a soot chucker. ::)

As you've probably found, the R sport badge is just a trim level. Oxymoron models are available. :y

That said, I'd bet the overall driving experience would make the Astra seem quite agricultural notwithstanding the performance on paper. ;D

Agreed, chalk and cheese. I just can't see the point in anyone buying such a weedy jag.

Nah. The Asian lad from the corner shop would laugh at it. He's got an AMG 63.
